The Children’s Cancer Foundation launched Hair for Hope 2025 at Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery (“KMS”) on 27 Apr 2025. Hair for Hope (“HfH”) is Singapore’s only head-shaving campaign dedicated to raising awareness and funds for children and families impacted by childhood cancer. This year’s theme, “Together, We Can”, calls on Singaporeans from all walks of life to stand in solidarity — as shavees, donors, volunteers, or advocates. This year, the campaign aims to rally 6,000 shavees and raise $6 million — a meaningful tribute to Singapore’s 60th year of independence.
The powerful acts of compassion witnessed at KMS have set an inspiring tone for the months ahead. With the community’s continued support, Hair for Hope 2025 is well on its way to making an even greater impact for children and families impacted by childhood cancer.

A Shave, A Statement: Three Ceremonial Shavees, One Powerful Message For Childhood Cancer
The launch event’s most moving moment came during the ceremonial shave, led by three individuals from different walks of life — united by a common cause:
Mr. P. Padman, respected lawyer and Children’s Cancer Foundation (CCF) Board Director
Shaving my head is a small gesture, but it symbolizes something far bigger: standing with the children and families we serve. Together, we can carry their hope further.”
Mr. P. Padman
Mr. Yen Fai Min, KMS Staff Member
Ms. Amy Low, Long-time Shavee and Advocate. An optician from Marine Parade, this marked her 13th consecutive shave. Her dedication has inspired many to donate or even become shavees themselves.
Some customers initially thought I was sick. But when I explained it was for Hair for Hope, they donated — and some even signed up to shave too. I tell them: don’t hesitate. Together, we can make a difference
Ms. Amy Low
